I'm going to adjust things a bit given the success of the SIP buckets and the dramatically bigger flower space in my new cabinet ( ) .
I have been running with a monthly (4 week) harvest with three plants in flower and I'm going to change to two plants and 6 weeks between harvests. I can tell the SIP harvests are going to be significantly larger than I'm used to and I don't really need all that much.
The buckets themselves are larger at 2 Gallons, and the SIPs just simply grow bigger and better plants. Of course, with only two plants they'll each be able to be larger so we'll see how that goes. I'm liking these 2 gallon buckets too much to switch to something smaller although I may sometimes add a 1L plant to see how it fits in.
I think the 6 week schedule will fit these SIPs better anyway. I've found all the plants I grown in these require an initial two week adjustment period, so that plus 4 weeks of proper veg should give me a decent sized plant to flip into flower.
I did like the more frequent turnover of plants of the 4 week schedule, but the larger harvests may actually work out better since there will be more in storage with a corresponding increase in the time spent curing for at least some of it.
My new plant is the seedling started in mid-sept so this weekend will mark the 6 week period and it will replace my Northern Lights 5 that I'll harvest then as well. That one had a mite issue so the harvest will be compromised, but it's the first of my buckets to finish so a bit of a milestone.
